ACDC - "Can't Stand Still"
From "Stiff Upper Lip"
Standard Tuning (just like all ACDC)
tabbed by jjhand

This song has a hammer-on pull-off lick similar to "Thunderstruck" in a 12 Bar Blues
format. The Lead does a hammer-on a high note then and pull off
to an open string for most of this song. Enjoy, and rate my work as well please!
